Defo change waterpump, they are 45.00 in motor factors, i just paid 27 quid for a new one off ebay if the waterpump goes, the cambelt has to come off if i remember rightly to change it, and for 45 quid its nothing.

Just make sure you get a Fiesta 1.6/1.8 Zetec waterpump for it, as the mondeo one spins the wrong way round !!

Well ill be fitting mine soon, and im a fussy bugger, everything i do has to be right otherwise i won't do it at all, if somethings got to be replaced new ill replace it, i won't go ' oh it will be okay '.

Just ask if theres anything you need to know, when i first even began to think of a 2 litre i nearly gave up the idea straight away because i didn't know where to start, but once the lumps sitting in your garden theres no stopping you

i have offered to help stip it out of the mondy, i have got to buy and engine stand soon, damn i am going to be really excited when its out, but got to keep calm as i have to wait till march to put it in

Ive got an engine stand if you want it, brand new, i cant get my engine on it no matter how hard i try and no ones ever around to lend me a hand, though it would take a few to lift it i imagine, im not paying for a crane for one day just to get it on the stand

well picked up the donor car yesterday ( for 2.0L conversion ) but unfortunately i am not going to have time to do the conversion before FITP as i first hoped , now that i have more time i am going to spend some time on the engine give it a lick of paint, new water pump , oil pump and other things

with all the money i have spent on it getting the body work done and making sure she is running right she wont be lowered either for FITP

on the other hand my new cossie brake discs and braided brake line kit arrived on Saturday so they might get fitted for FITP

car sounding mint mate, can't wait to see it at fitp, i really want to look in 2 these brakes your getting fitted, as mine have well due to my driving style have well, errrrrr warped now so i need to upgrade the brakes in a few weeks or so, see you at fitp!!
